The Nigerian buyer specialist in Maryland knows Prince George’s County and Montgomery County as Nigerian-American buyer markets.

They also know to ask the first question: “Are you already in the US, or buying from Nigeria?”

Nigerian Buyer Specialist Competencies
(1) Maryland/DC metro knowledge: Prince George’s County, Montgomery County, and Northern Virginia Nigerian-American primary residence markets. Proximity to federal agencies, universities, and hospitals. (2) Houston medical corridor: Texas Medical Center adjacent communities where Nigerian physician buyers concentrate. Pearland, Sugar Land, Katy, and Memorial area. (3) Atlanta gateway: Gwinnett County, DeKalb County Nigerian community markets. The US-Nigeria Business Council’s partnership in Atlanta. (4) Domestic vs Nigeria-based routing: asks “Are you in the US or buying from Nigeria?” The Nigerian-American gets the domestic mortgage path. The Lagos-based investor gets the DSCR or foreign national path.
Ryan Brown, Principal Broker & CEO Own Luxury Homes®
"Maryland. Houston TMC. Atlanta. Nigerian-American or Nigeria-based first question. FIRPTA certificate at listing for sellers — no treaty means no DTA credit but the certificate still saves money at closing. That’s the Nigerian buyer specialist baseline."
